Tips

Different pressure cookers have different types pressure rockers or buttons. Check your manual to see how your pressure cooker operates. The Fagor pressure cooker has a button that will fully extend when under pressure.

Cook times vary by pressure cooker and elevation. Read your pressure cooker manual for more information. The following recipe is based on an approximate 2,300 elevation using a Fagor pressure cooker set at 15 pounds pressure. Your pressure cooker may have different requirements.

Read your pressure cooker manual for the correct water amount. Each pressure cooker has a minimum amount of water required to cook correctly.

Warnings

Always use care when opening the pressure cooker. The food is very hot.

Do not attempt to pressure cook chicken using only oil. This is very dangerous and not recommended. It is okay to brown the chicken in oil and later cook the chicken under pressure using water.
